How Can Someone Fall in Love Too Fast?
I have been wondering the answer to this question for years and still haven’t got the answer. For a realistic and cold-hearted person like me, loving someone too fast was a little too much. I mean, how could people fall in love by only talking within days?
The truth is I was wrong.
My perspective changed 180 degrees when I was meeting someone. A year ago, a boy came into my life. Well, he was a sweet and lovable guy. We talked only for days but it felt like I’ve already known him for months. He was not similar to any boy who’s approached me before. Not the type of old-fashioned-way-of-approaching-girl boy who would ask me my daily routines or questions that he has already known the answers to. But still, the idea of falling in love that fast gave me goosebumps. I never thought I would fall for him within days of talking virtually. I guess I was eating my own words. I wasn’t thinking clearly.
But, life is not a fairy tale and every beginning has an end.
The sad thing is he said goodbye to me because it was pandemic time. I knew this kind of get-to-know-each-other thing was not going to end up well during quarantine -when we didn’t even know how much longer we should wait for this pandemic to end. Maybe he didn’t like the idea of something uncertain. Neither did I. However, I never told anyone how much it changed me. It was only a virtual talking and I did fall for him? It’s just ridiculous.
Little did I know, it was the answer to the question I’ve been wondering for years. Love doesn’t depend on how many days we’ve known our partner, it doesn’t depend on anything.
When we somehow bump into people we click instantly, we will be grateful for that moment. We want this moment to last forever to makes us feel less lonely. Their presence will make us happy and their absence will make us feel empty. The way they talk about ourselves makes us feel loved. Sometimes, even it shapes the form of self-love inside us.
The feeling of being loved makes us want to give them the love they deserve. To always be there when no one is giving them a shoulder to lean on. To be the one that makes their heart beats a little faster and smile a little brighter. Even when it doesn’t end well in a relationship, we will still be grateful for the lessons we get.
Sometimes, we don’t really need to have the answer to every question in our heads. Just take it easy and relax. All we have to do is just wait for some moments in our life that will answer those questions and teach us lessons we’ve never learned before.
